Garrido lawyer wants client to see Dugard before trial
By Sam Stanton, Sacramento Bee
As the Jaycee Lee Dugard kidnapping case drags on, Nancy Garrido’s lawyer suggested today that Dugard and her two children should be allowed to visit Garrido before the trial begins.
Attorney Stephen Tapson said after a five-minute court hearing today that he believes it would be better for Dugard to see Nancy Garrido in a private setting before she sees her stand trial in Dugard’s kidnapping.
“She loves those kids, she loves Jaycee,” Tapson said. “This is a relationship born in evil, but she loves them and misses them.”
